A California law will make it easier for gay couples to access same-sex couples to access fertility services on 1 January.

Originally only prioritized for straight couples, AB 2356 will ensure sperm donations will be available for all women.

Assembly member Nancy Skinner, who introduced the bill, said AB 2356 removes the obstacles LBT and single women faced when they sought medically-assisted insemination.

‘I am proud to have authored legislation that will eliminate those barriers and level the playing field for all women seeking medical services in their effort to conceive.’
